Just keep the audio notifications turned on your phone then.
Or don't get an S2.
Or get the 3g model that has a speaker on it.
Or get all hyperbolic about it.
3g model for sell somewhere ?
and no one knows for sure if the speaker can be used for notification
i am so disappointed from that , so bad
Next month.
does it vibrate notifications if your phone is not around? or does BT need to be available. I cannot figure out if the Gear S2 has WiFi.....
The watch is a disappointment, major step back in their advancements over the years. Was a leader, now a copy cat follower

The gear does have WiFi. However I always have my phone so my WiFi is off to save battery.
Only the 3G model,has the speaker. The other models have a microphone for voice to text, voice memo etc.

So how does the alarm sound on the watch? Or it doesn't?
Maybe it vibrate on your hand for wake you up , funny watch , why just why Samsung will never do something totally perfect and useful ?

I know what you mean. A lot of their products seem to fall short by a bit. A shame really since Samsung has so much resources at their disposal.
Having a speaker on the non-3G would've been better and the S2 and S2 Classic would've been more wholesome.
I've had my S2 since Saturday & I'll definitely be returning it despite it being the first smartwatch I actually like.
I'll give it a try again when the 3G version comes out.

It will vibrate, and make the alarm on your device go off. Gear S2 has basically 3 different models. There are many people that do not want to talk on their wrist during calls and can save some money and just get the Classic or Regular model. If you wanna shovel out a few more bucks get the 3G model. Or the original Gear S which I have and love. With those models you can choose to either connect it to your device for calls, or have a stand alone number and or have calls forwarded to the watch if you want. The 3G model is good for people that want to leave their phone at home at times during jogs and can have data on the go. I know a guy that uses his S as a 3G device because he can't bring a phone into his job but the Gear S allows him to receive calls and direct them to his Bluetooth headset if need be.
Been using Pebble before the S2 and the vibration was strong
For the S2, setting the vibration to maximum... I can barely feel it...
Well, to round up a bit, it does not have a speaker and conisdering that the previous watches had it, looks like a step backwards. At the end this market is evolving and both Apple and Samsung are trying to put the right features on their devices. I also have a Gear Neo 2 and frankly speaking you look pretty stupid talking thru a plastic watch on your wrist. It appears that talking over the watch is not a killer feature. I complained about it at the beggining but then I realized that is not natural to talk to your watch, besides you dind't got any privacy dureing your calls. I like the Gear S2 features better. Has a much better integration to the phone and a cleaned up and less buggy software than the Neo 2. The OLED screen is the best in the market for any smartwatch. Finally, regarding the wifi it has some very nice features. First of all it takes the wifi setup directly from your phone. If you set up your phone to access your wireless router, then your Gear S2 is ready to go. Second if you leave your phone at home and are in your office with the watch on wifi, you still get all your text messages, whatsapp, even email on your watch! Thats really cool and useful. Botom line, this reminds me when Palm ruled back in the 90's and declared that the keyboard was dead with their giraffe hand writing technology. Now, 20 years later, we still use these touch screen mini keyboards that force us to correct whatever we type over and over again. A step forward? Does anybody complaint about it? Maybe the same will happen with the idea of use your watch as a phone. Only time will tell...

I disagree. While using the speakerphone on your watch may seem silly in public, it is infinitely useful when you are driving. I don't use a bluetooth headset as it requires quite a bit of fiddling and keeping an additional device charged is just a pain. I have been using my Samsung Gear 2 for years primarily because of its speakerphone capability, and did not buy the Gear S2 primarily because it was missing the key feature for me.
find my watch use to make a sound when I first got it I know it did but now it does nothing. but vibrate. anyone know if they turned it off in the software and I just never realized it?
So I bought my Gear S2 on release day kind of knowing I was gonna return it for the 3G when it dropped, but then I kind of fell in love with the look and feel of this one, just miss the speaker option, but I knew the speaker comes at a price, a 2mm price and I'm not really.sure I wanna make this watch bulky and seeing a side by side has me kind of confused on what to do now.
I grab an official side pic of the Gear S2 and Gear S2 3G and laid them over top of each other exactly to show how much thicker the 3G model, quite a bit more bulk to it ... wondering if the speaker and wait is worth it now especially since I'm really happy with this watch minus the lack of speaker. I worry that the extra plastic will make it feel more like a cheap toy or something ... thoughts?
Picture Comparison Attached.
I don't think it'll make a big difference. I already returned my S2 for the white S2 3G. ?

Worried about it also. The regular S2 is the perfect size for me. Since I'm unable to connect via Bluetooth to my phone due to the Marshmallow upgrade, I'll have an easier time returning my S2 and waiting for the 3g.
And for those coming from the 12.5 mm thick S

Yeah returned mine today and I'm following through the with original plan, worst case scenario is its too bulky and I return that and go back to the original S2 if I don't at least try it I'll regret it, in the meantime I'm back to the old Gear S, feels huge now lol.
But yeah Samsung did it correct with the S2, hopefully the 3G model doesn't ruin it, the wife doesn't miss her speaker and is keeping hers, I'm back in waitsville.
3g model has a thickness of 13.4mm which is 2mm thicker than the original gear s2

Thanks for that picture. Those extra 2mms make quite an impact from the side profile...
Here's a comparison between classic and 3g

Damn it does look much fatter and ugly with that 2mm. I really want a speaker and with the price the same as the classic I was willing to do it, but these pictures seem to be telling me to stay with the sport.
It's saying the same to me lol, but I already have the plan through AT&T on my Gear S (although never use it off BT) and I really missed the speakerphone capability so I gotta see the 3G model through, again worst case scenario I return it and go back to the regular model, I'm not willing to compromise how nice and normal watch like the GS2 is for the speaker, I'll live without it, the GS2 fit good, felt good, and was made nice with good weight and balance, if the added plastic from the speaker thickens it too much or makes it feel cheap then it's a no go.
But if att doesn't hurry up, I'll just go back and get another GS2 regular, it's been 2 days since I returned it and I miss it, meanwhile my wife is loving hers.
I'm not convinced that the extra 2mm thickness is going to work, but the whole watch is bigger - 2mm thicker, 2mm taller and 1.7mm wider. Maybe that'll be ok...meanwhile I have 1hr29min to return my S2. Talk about being torn about what to do...and I haven't been able to keep it connected to my phone since Monday without light reset due to stupid Samsung f-up of Marshmallow Gear app update....

I returned mine and re-bought it without removeing it from my wrist just to by be another 15 days. Just did that this morning and I got it when they opened on the Friday it came out.
The only thing that I would consider the 3g version is only because it was GPS and would let me run without a connection with the phone .
Here are some pictures of the Gear S2 3G model.
With a speaker, GPS, and 3G connectivity, this is definitely the model I'll be getting.
Here are some information I've gleamed about the S2 3G by reading some Korean blogs:
-When the smartphone is connected to the S2 3G and you receive a phone call, the phone call is routed to the watch via Bluebooth. If the phone is far away or if by chance the Bluetooth connection is lost between the phone and the watch, the watch goes into 3G mode. When Bluetooth connection is restored, Bluetooth takes over again for phone calls.
-The Gear S2 3G is given its own phone number if the user adds the phone unto a share plan. When one of the devices receives a phone call, it's mirrored on the other device. There is a service offered by SK Telecom, however, where the Gear S2 3G and your phone can share just a single number together.
-Looking at the Gear S2 3G by itself from its side, the 2mm size increase is noticeable. When the watch is worn, however, the watch looks slimmer because it gets pressed down into your skin.
-If one has both the Gear S2 3G and a phone on a share plan (2 different phone numbers) and one forgets and leaves the phone at home and you get a phone call to your phone, then you miss the call unless you open the telecom app on the Gear S2 3G to check for any missed calls on the phone.
-Speaking at a busy street with lots of car and people noise, the speaker performance is adequate. The blogger had to put the watch up to his ear many times to hear. When at home and playing with his kids, however, the speaker volume was more than adequate and convenient to have around because he didn't have to get up to fetch his phone. And his kids could participate in the conversation as well with their grandparents.

Here are pictures of the silver/white Gear S2 3G:
The 3G model actually, to my Eyes at least, looks more like my cup of tea.
To bad i´m in Europe, maybe have to import it
Thanks for these pictures! Been searching every day for them. Will study way more closely, but I think my fears have been confirmed. To me, the 3g looks pretty awkward, but those may be tiny wrists, but still...
Also, if correct, don't at all like the idea that you'll have to check a "Telcom" app for a missed call if your phone is not in proximity of S2. Suspect it will depend on how verizon and tmobile handle this, but watch should actively notify wearer of calls/texts as they occur.

I'm a bit confused on the missed call thing.
I don't plan on adding or paying for 3G. I'm also on Sprint which probley won't support it anyways. I currently have the Bluetooth version and miss the speaker.
If I'm on wifi and my phone is away from me how will the watch act during the call and after I missed the call?
Current bluetooth S2 if on wifi will only show me the missed call after the call was missed. Will not show it ringing when not connect to phone via bluetooth.
https://youtu.be/LgDvRnd3LOY
Reviewer in YouTube video says he can't wear S2 with dress shirt since gets caught/won't fit under shirt sleeve (also said why would he want to since watch is sporty).
When is ATT gonna announce anything about their 3G? Their website just keeps saying coming soon. Grrr. I have an idea that ATT is going to announce their new NumberSync service with this watch, and that is why they are waiting on announcing all the details, but we shall see I guess.

Curiosity killed the cat I guess and I'm finally looking to get a smartwatch ASAP. I'm a female with a decent sized wrist, so I think I can get away with the bigger watches if needed. Let me know if I posted this in the wrong forum. Its been a while since I've logged on. I went to the dark side for a bit and went to an iphone with Verizon (Samsung went stupid getting rid of sd card support on their s6 and my hubs s5 was too glitchy for me to go to, thus the dark side and leaving my old note4 ) before finally switching to ATT and getting a V10 and back on android.
I'm torn on if I should try out the LG Watch Urbane 2 or if I should try a Samsung Gear S2 Classic or if I should look at something like the 2nd gen Moto 360.
I tend to not do great with silicone-like products (yay allergies) so the band on the LG Urbane 2 has me concerned but everything else about it seems to be ok.
On the Samsung side, I worry about compatibility and being able to use its features well. However, I love the bezel on it and the ability to change out watch bands.
What about the moto 360 second gen?
I want to be able to track my distance pretty easily, (even with the phone) when I go running, and I want to have notifications as I need them. I want the dang thing to work with the v10, I'm hearing mixed reviews about this phone playing nice with others. I also want a pretty decent battery life to go 12-16 hours when needed.
Help, ideas recommendations before I drop a pretty penny on this device? Also, would you go for the ones that connect to a carrier or just through the phone and no carrier involvement?
Thanks folks!
CMMELTON2
bump please?
I can't offer any input at all on the smartwatch area, don't have one, and actually don't know anyone with one (although, I'm starting to get an interest). I do have a BT headset and I've also paired it to 3-4 different car BT connections without issue either. So I haven't experienced any connectivity issues, if that helps at all
As far as the V10? I think it's a great device. I've been very happy with mine(AT&T). The development end has been very very slow going, due to lock down so if you are really interested in custom ROMS, there might be something available for T-Mo, but with the locked bootloaders on AT&T/Verizon custom ROMS are going to be really hard if not impossible to get.
That aside, I can typically get 4 maybe 5 hours screen on time. Admittedly, the battery on my Note 3 was much better, but I actually like the V10 better than the Note 3. (I'd also had Sam devices since the Captivate/2010'ish) so the change was very welcome
I have been looking at Smartwatches for quite some time. I wanted to get the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition when it first came out, but it got pulled before I could buy one. So I started to look into others. The Gear S2 was the only other one that grabbed my interest. Having the ability to make and take calls and to text and basically be untethered to my phone is what I want. If you have an LG phone and go with the Gear S2, you lose a lot of that. Now that the LG Watch is back on the market, I have preordered it and will be getting it in the mail tomorrow. I can't wait to try it out. I will let you know how it is, but I can tell you this, since you are in the LG ecosystem, I would heavily consider the LG Watch as you will have better results. Also, this watch was first designed to work with the V10 so that is a major plus for me.
Thanks for the replies. Let me know how you like that LG watch 2 for sure. My biggest worry is that I will wind up allergic to the band. That and I'm not thrilled with them only getting black this round and no option to change the bands out.
I did not know that the watch was designed to work with the v10. That's a huge plus.
I hope the battery and fitness options on it works.
Anyone with opinion on moto 360 2nd gen or if I should try one without a carrier involved.

Yea, that's the one I am looking at. The only thing is ATT only offers it in black with no plans for others anytime soon and I'm worried if the band is something I'm allergic to then I'm SOL when trying to switch out bands because its not allowed.

By the way, in response to your other post, I love the LG V10. I'm a little peeved that there isn't as many products that are compatible with the phone compared to iphone or samsung, but the ability to not be as afraid of dropping my phone and only keeping a clear case and glass screen protector on it is great.
As for the custom roms, when I had the early droid motorolas and all of the samsungs, I felt the absolute need to customize and throw on roms. Plus, VZ and ATT are horrible about bloat. On the v10, I feel like I can actually use my phone regardless of bloat and there is no horrible touchwiz hell. The need to root and customize the rom is low in this device which is a first for me with android.
Sorry if any error with spelling or grammatical issues, my 1 year old thought it would be fun to bash my eye with her head this am and I can't see out of it now, and my face is too swollen to have my bifocals on lol.

Yea no kidding. My plans to go out an about today went to hell after that hit. I really don't want to explain why i have a swollen eye and eyelid with bruising all around it today to every one I see. Make up isn't covering it and as a female I really don't need a bunch of people thinking the worst.
Go figure my girl doesn't hurt or have any pain from it, she's got a hard head like her daddy.
Does anyone else have an opinion on a watch before I spend awful amounts of money on a smartwatch in the AM?
Ok, before I start, I have to say that my S3 Frontier is the best Smart Watch I have ever owned. I have had an apple watch. I own an LG Urbane, Gear S2 and now the S3 Frontier LTE version.
Now I have to say that this is an awesome watch but I have been having several issues that are bugging me but I am sure they can be fixed with software updates so I'm hanging in there but here are my issues and they are getting annoying:
Watch constantly locks, thinking I took the watch off my wrist. If I tighten it real tight it won't. The heart beat sensor constantly tells me to reposition the watch on my wrist or clean the sensor. I have to move it or tighten it several times before I can get a reading. The altimeter is always all over the place. I can recalibrate it in the same spot every time and get everything from - 100 feet to 200 feet. Mind you I live at sea level. The barometer stays at 30 and never moves even though I am sure the barometric pressure is changing. The GPS doesn't lock very quickly so using it as a standalone GPS isn't really feasible yet. Locks great with phone hooked up. Samsung Pay does not integrate with the phone version. Works great but when I pay with my watch, I don't get rewards points. Also, I kept my S2 for a more sporty look and when I was going somewhere that I didn't want to mess up my frontier. I connected to my S2 the other day and when I connected back to my s3, Samsung Pay had to be set up all over again. That is to inconvenient for those of us who would like to switch between watches. The gear app does a good job at being able to switch seamlessly but messes up Samsung Pay every time you switch. I only use it to impress people or don't have my phone with me but honestly Samsung Pay on the watch has been more of a hassle than it's worth for me. Now if Samsung were to integrate the promotions and the gear app wouldn't keep deleting my cards every time I switched watches, Samsung Pay would be dope.
Now you may say that I have defective sensors but upon trolling the net, I see others are having some of the same issues. I am sure that with some updates it will improve. I see that there has already been one update that improves the GPS but unfortunately I have to wait for Tmobile to push it out since I have the Lte version and have noticed that with my S2, you have to wait for updates if you have the LTE versions.
Now please don't get me wrong. I loved my S2 and am loving my s3 even more but still needs some improvement.
I still think it's the best on the market! Some say there is a lack of apps but there is an app for all my needs and between all the watch face apps and gear designer, I have even designed my own faces. I think hands down it even beats android wear in the watch face designing department. I also think this is definitely an apple watch killer. Only wish they would have made it a little more water resistant so I could swim with it but it's all good.
This watch has a lot of potential and I hope Samsung starts working on updates to fix its shortcomings but for now it's the best smart watch in my opinion.
Just curious (because you seem to use the watch all the time), how's the quality of the bezel? It became in time slightly loose and it's clicky when you tap on it?
I recognize your story but the love prevails for now, probably until a better S4 or Huawei Watch comes out.
Don't use Samsung pay but I don't recognize your GPS comment. Maybe I live under a satellite cause mine locks in about 3 to 5 seconds.
Btw coming from the doomed Pebble, I had a time steel and backed (%|#!) a time 2, I'm glad to find the S3 does the same plus more and looks like a proper watch. So I'll just have to live with it's quirks.
Edit: Been thinking about this. If Garmin would release a smaller Fenix 4 I'll probably get that, I like always on reflective displays better than oled.

Do you have the Bluetooth or LTE version? It is my understanding that there was an update that improved the GPS lock on the Bluetooth version. I'm still waiting for the update.
I am sure most if not all these quirks will be fixed with updates. Samsung did a good job fixing several issues with the S2 so I am confident they will do good with the S3. I just hate having to wait a few extra months because I have the LTE version but at the same time I use the standalone features with call forwarding and tmobile digits looks promising.
Trust me, I'm still more on the love side.

I switch between the gear s and gear s3 and have no problems with having to restart samsung pay. And you do get the points using the watch also.

I just don't know and I'm trying to make up my mind if I should return it or not.
The watch is fine otherwise but I'm thinking that MAYBE is just a bad luck and if I change it, everything it will be fine (like the one of OP).
I asked in a Samsung service about this problem and the technician said that at this point he has no clue if this is expected or not but that all the Gear S2 that he saw, had this little clicky thing.
Then I asked if the bezel is changed without disassembling the watch and he said that the bezel is attached to the watch face and it is changed as an entire unit, basically removing the bottom and the electronics and inserted into the new one.
Mine (in just 4 days after unpacking) is more than clicky when I tap it, the bezel is also slightly loose and there is enough lateral and vertical movement (when I press one side, the other is just slightly moving up).
I can't imagine that in time, it will be better but I can imagine all the dust and hair that it will be stuck under the bezel.

If you have any doubt, return it. If only for peace of mind. You can always buy it again.
Mine is less loose but It's loose a bit nevertheless...
I'm going back to the shop tomorrow but I doubt i can swap it...
Can't find the forum but anyone else ordered one? Not expecting it until 6th.

Feedback?
The reviews from people who have purchased it are mixed. Everyone to seems to love the watch, fit and finish. Lots of people complaining it doesn't have MST and reducing stars on it for that reason in reviews. I mean, you must know that it doesn't have MST before you buy it, right? It was known well before release. Apparently, Best Buy lied and UPS turned it over to USPS so I will be getting it tomorrow. Luckily, I don't care about MST, I don't plan to pay from my watch, I still find it more convenient to pop my debit card into the chip reader lol. I've been behind people waving phones and apple watches over the terminals and taking way too much time. I'd rather not inconvenience those behind me for no reason.

I love it overall. I am replacing my Gear S2 with it. Already lasts longer than that is all I could hope for.
I'm surprised I can't find a Galaxy Watch forum either. I absolutely love the watch though.
I came from using a Fitbit Ionic and while that was decent, this is just miles ahead. The biggest thing for me, as dumb as it is, I love the fact that it looks like a real watch and not a funky square. I got a stainless steel band on Amazon for around 15 bucks and it makes it look even better.

I have the Gear Fit2 Pro. I can't wait for my watch to arrive tomorrow. I know it will be a huge upgrade.
i had the frontier s3 lte and the galaxy watch now. both 46 mm.
out of the gate the new watch has a much longer battery life. the longest i had it off charge was 2 days of use. this is with all radios on, max screen brightness (10) and not disabling anything. when i put it on charge at the end of day 2 it still had 40% left. the s3 would have died a day ago.
the build quality is upped over the s3 and it looks damn good. bezel rotation seems improved over the s3.
i knew about mst well before i purchased the watch. its a bummer since i was used to it on the s3, but its not a big enough CON to keep me from purchasing it. more and more sites I go to use the newer tech anyway so its not been an issue.
Bwahahaha. Smart watches. Carry on.

I totally agree man. It's a pain when they have to wave their gadgets two, three or even more times at the reader
It's even worse with the starbucks cards !! Use your credit card for christ sake!
...end of rant, aaah so refreshed. :laugh:

:laugh::laugh: right? I got my watch today, already in love with it! Gear Fit2 Pro was nifty, but this is a whole new world!
I have the LTE 46mm version. Although it is supposed to work stand alone it requires a paired digits plan @10 bucks/mo and can only have the LTE service activated if you have a samsung S7 or better. Spent over 4 hours with store employees and T-Mobile tech support before they figured it out. IPhone LTE support will be added sometime in the future. Unfortunately I have a Note Edge (essentially a note 4) so I'm screwed as far as getting LTE activated. T-Mobile is a pain. If it can work stand alone it should be able to be activated. Other than the LTE issue I do like it.
i have the 46mm lte galaxy watch. i dont need the main phone to be with it.
the watch has its own REAL phone number. ive called people and have had people call me directly on the watch.
i had this same setup with the s3 frontier.

Couldn't they just use a demo to get you started? Like just pop your sim in a S8 set it up and switch back to a note 4 and be out the door?
80 hours in on my first charge and 52% battery left. This thing is nuts. I have wake up gestures on, NFC/Bluetooth on and brightness at 8. Its crazy good.

You would think so but apparently their demos are just that, demos. Also my sim is too large to fit so they would have to change sims. Still, you would think it would be easy enough.
I've received a delivery notification and its this I'm waiting for from Samsung - comes tomorrow. Was scheduled for 6th following pre order.
